- This video is in the Great Engine Openings series! With many thanks to chess.com and Andrew Grant (Ethereal and Torch programmer) I've been given a copy of Torch version 2 to play with! As always, I'm starting by looking at Torch's favourite openings! This video looks at 1.d4 and some other first moves.
A pgn of the lines covered in the video and many many more is available from a chapter of the following Lichess Study: lichess.org/study/GJ5NRo9a

Amazing video and thank you for the PGN. I think the Cambridge Springs would be a great addition to it. Looking forward to the Black repertoire and your games against it!
Ah yes that's a good point!
Nice content. Huge pgn again. Moskalenko have a nice book about The fabulous Budapest Gambit too.Thanks Matthew.
Yes a very good book indeed, though a little out of date now! (lots of new engine lines!)
Hello Mr.Sadler i wanted to inform you that the pgn has a problem in the queens indian Line on move 34 Torch Misses Smothered checkmate that means also allowing this nf5 nd6 was innacurate by black
Ah yes these long lines sometimes have mistakes. I normally don't look much further than move 20 for these things!
Great upload matthew,very instructive indeed and very very interesting.Will be studying this a long time,like your T shirt as well....
Yes my Human Torch t-shirt - perfect for this engine! ☺
@@SiliconRoadChess lol nice! The matrix would have been as apt as well,just for you!
Great videos Mr. Sadler. Which engine’s opening preferences do you feel most closely align with your own?
Ah nowadays it's the other way around! I try to align my play with Leela's! 😂
Just a quick question, when you analyze these openings, do you just stick with the root PV or advance the positions out ply by ply to see if the computer choices change when you move further through the variations?
I mostly leave it at the root PV. So for example, if I wanty Torch to look at the 6.Bg5 Najdorf in general, I let it analyse for 200000Mn at the position after 6.Bg5.
When I try to download the pgn I get the message that the connection to this site is not secure.
What is wrong?
There seems to be a problem with the Chessbase site: every pgn upload ends up blank… I’ll keep on trying.
@@SiliconRoadChess Nothing to do, it still doesn't work...
I have asked support about it as it still isn't working. In the mean time I created a Lichess Study: lichess.org/study/GJ5NRo9a/nAejPJQP Let me know if that works for you!
@@SiliconRoadChess Hi Matthew,
the link works perfectly, thank you so much for your support!
Could you create a study for Torch 1.e4 too?
Many thanks in advance
@@SiliconRoadChess The link to lichess works perfectly. Thank you.
Semi-Slav!!!1!
